Ectropion
Patients with ectropion have a sagging lower eyelids that
leaves the eye exposed and dry. It is caused by a lack of tone of the
delicate muscles that hold the lid taut against the eye. Excessive
tearing is a common with ectropion, but wiping the tears away only
causes the lid to sag more. Ectropion is most common among people over
the age of 60.
